Q: Respected Madam, Namaskar. Kindly include Mr.Michel Jackson chart. I just speculated from his date of birth, interesting lessons of Rahu/Jupiter. Shani aspect on Surya... Showing his unique personality and life process. Best Regards Jai Ganesha.
A:Birth time of Michael Jackson's (the entertainer) is entirely speculative. It is not possible to do an accurate Jyotisha reading without the time of birth. The astrologer can make only some general statements from the Chandra rashi lagna. Even the nakshatra of Chandra is not definite without birth time. Certainly nakshatra pada cannot be known without birth time.
Even though Michael Jackson was born in a USA hospital, and his mother is still living, his birth certificate is private. Now that he has left his body, perhaps the birth certificate will be released to the public.
That is what happened with Jackie Kennedy (another media celebrity). The law in USA says that public can access birth records after a person has died. The day after she died, an astrologer applied to the birth records office to obtain a copy of her birth certificate. Then Jackie Kennedy's birth time was made available to astrologers worldwide.
I think we have to wait for this possibility to happen, in regard to Michael Jackson. If we are lucky, the speed of internet will help make the information available quickly.

Q: Namaste Barbara,
... to humbly add to your analysis .. it states elsewhere in your website that Shukra in Dhanista makes a ‘’superb dancer’’….and that’s what MJ was.. his Navamsa Venus is in Dhanista Nakshatra.
Thank you for such a brilliant website.
A: Great insight, thanks! Dhanishtha is an engine of rhythmic movement, driven by an inner drum-beat. Not only would M. Jackson hear the drum-beat himself, internally and intuitively. But also, the navamsha placement indicates that one will form spirit-mirroring relationships with others who can hear the same artistic (Shukra) rhythm (Dhanishta). Jackson had cadres of supporting dancers, for decades, all coordinated to the external beat of the songs he wrote. Those songs in turn are the product of his own inner rhythm.
On a physical and material level, Shukra occupies the highly problematic nakshatra of Ashlesha which indicates "poor boundaries". Behaviors of Ashlesha include chronic neediness, clinging and wrapping, snakelike invasion of another's psychic space, invasive psychic and physical contact.
In the emotionally inauspicious 6th-from-Chandra, and as the karaka for females in his life, in particular marriage-partners, Shukra is in the rashi of Shukra' enemy Chandra, receiving sexualized drishti of Kuja, and additionally in the psychologically unbalanced Ashlesha nakshatra. Shukra ironically inauspicious for female partners. The story begins with a manipulative, indulgent mother, and continues forward to fundamental animosity toward women paired with a desperate need for nurturing comforting contact.
The first wife would be represented by Shukra, which indicates a short-lived marriage (Kuja drishti).
if the SPECULATIVE time used is approximately correct: Shukra represents a first wife who is a woman of wealth and property (Shukra = L-2 and L-4 from Chandra.)
The second wife is likely indicated by Rahu.
Behari says of this Rahu placement (Thula/7): "You may be unstable, depressed, and attracted to the lower expressions of sexuality. The physical and psychological strain of living with such a person is so great that your spouse often disappears from your life. You may be married several times."
Rahu here represents the second wife's psychic role of acting out the inner imagery of the native, so that Rahu's characteristics (exotic, unusual, amplifying fertility, amplifying a fair complexion [Shukra]] apply to both husband and wife but are pronounced in the character of the second wife. Note Rahu's proximity to fertile Guru and lord Shukra a dignified 10th-from His tenant (dignity of marriage) but lord Shukra remains very problematic for life and the second marriage is also short-lived (Kuja drishti to Rahu/7th-from-Kuja).
Ironically the graha which caused this man some of his worst emotional suffering is also the graha which caused some of his greatest public success.
The nativity could also be profitably read from Kanya Lagna, especially with benefit of Mesha-Kuja in randhra bhava with Ketu signifying a sudden death of unknown or mystical causes.
Speculative lagna = Krittika = Kuja in Krittika
All quotations from Das. Das uses Bepin Behari's texts as a basis with some extra interpretation.
First house from lagna; Third from Chandra:
Graha in lagna define the physical appearance
Ketu-Mesha: Philosophical, psychic, precocious by temperament, rugged and somewhat haggard in appearance.
Ketu, general traits in domain-1: Anguish through relatives; fear and anxiety from the wicked. Trouble through spouse, children, etc. Confusion, excess bile and rheumatism. Constant distress through relatives and dread of the vicious. Perturbed. Spouse suffering from restlessness and stomach ache etc. This person is sad, inert, selfish, ugly and foolish. Separation from spouse; trouble in arm; a liar. Ungrateful, wicked, spiritless, dismissed from service. Afraid of sex; trouble for maternal uncle. Loss, scandals, danger to face and eyes, a short life.
Kuja in 3rd pada of Krittika: unique attributes: A commanding appearance. Argumentative ability. You become a renowned lawyer or military or police officer or one associates with the government. You will run after other's spouses. It has been noticed that some kind of poisonous substance will be unknowingly eaten by you, which may either cause death or paralysis to certain portion of the body. Suffers from sharp fever, cerebral meningitis, injury or wound in the head or face.
Kuja, general traits in domain-1: One of the most harmonious of placements. Aries and Mars radiate similar impulses which greatly enhance the possibility that you will express your best in the world and carve a niche for yourself in society. You may have a strong constitution and a courageous disposition with an urge for exploration, research and the establishment of a new social order - but you seldom live to an advanced age. You will be known for your leadership and will be honored and respected by the state. You become a wealthy wanderer, moving from land to land, and are bound to leave an imprint on society.
Fourth house from lagna; Sixth from Chandra:
Shukra in Karkata in domain-4: Venus shapes a person who is very much attached to spouse and family relations. You are rich, live in a luxurious environment, and are very affable. You have a pronounced artistic temperament, are quite popular, fond of the opposite sex, and much honored. You rise in your profession.
Fifth house from lagna; Seventh from Chandra:
Surya in Simha in domain-5:You will receive public honor and be blessed with only one child who will reach a high position in life. [Note the child prognosis changes due to conjunct Budha.] The Sun occupying this sign greatly intensifies its impact. You are fired with an idealism which often epitomizes the Vedantic way of life. If supporting conditions are present, you will strive to realize this highest spiritual objective in the society around you. Such a stupendous task may be possible, due to your sharp intellect, enduring stamina, and through physical creativity, i.e. the birth of a son.
Budha in Simha in domain-5: The intellect is sharpened and your education proceeds in an orderly fashion; your interest in subjects like astrology, alchemy, the hidden powers concealed in nature, and the symbolic interpretation of secret laws is intensified, while your expertise in law, teaching, and diplomacy is also highly developed. You also becomes lucky with regard to offspring. [This reading must be adjusted regarding education because Budha is combust (moudhya). However the intelligence is strong. Putra Sukha Yoga. There will be happiness on account of children
Seventh house from lagna; Ninth from Chandra:
Rahu in Libra in domain-7: You may be unstable, depressed, and attracted to the lower expressions of sexuality. The physical and psychological strain of living with such a person is so great that your spouse often disappears from your life. You may be married several times.
Jupiter in Libra in domain-7: Jupiter produces a spiritual atmosphere in the family whereby everyone is harmoniously blended with each other. Small difficulties raised by siblings are soon overcome and life moves on quite peacefully. You and your spouse are regarded as very respectable.
Eighth house from lagna; Tenth from Chandra:
Saturn in Vrischika in domain-8: You will be able to maintain a great deal of secrecy about yourself. You prefer to be known only through your actions. You will attain fame and status unexpectedly, but will die a saddened individual.
Eleventh house from lagna; Chandra lagna:
Chandra in Kumbha in domain-11: Your thinking is not "normal"- it may be extreme in some way that others commonly don't share. Family life is strained and there is no peace of mind. You will generally work for large enterprises like the government, or big business. You are likely to be connected with other countries at different times, either in thought or trade. To make money in life, you will find yourself working very hard.
Purvabhadrapada Soma, pada-1: Your outward expression is mischievous but not inwardly. In other words, you think one thing but do another. You may have two marriages.

2nd-from-Chandra, 2nd wife = 12th-from-lagna, an invisible position but lord = Guru = children; Guru + Rahu = unusual circumstances for children from the 2nd wife
Remarkable influence of Rahu:

Vimshottari Dasha Narrative:
Speculative Birth time of 10:30 p.m.
L-9-L-12 Guru mahadasha
L-2/L-11 from Chandra
Guru is is problematic due to His lord Shukra in Ashlesha, in sign of enemy Chandra, and 6th-from-Chandra. As well, with Ketu and receiving the aggressive, competitive, athletic, even military drishti of Mesha Kuja.
Psychologically invasive and controlling parents (Shukra/Ashlesha/4) in the music business (Shukra). Family-based era.
Exceptionally materially gainful due to Guru L-2/L-11 from Chandra - this child is a money-maker for the family.
Period of L-12 is a time of isolation, interiority. Children who grow up in a period of L-12 rarely have many friends and their normal social identity is dissolved.
L-10/L-11 Shani mahadasha
L-12/L-1 from Chandra
Extraordinarily successful and gainful career giving worldwide fame during period of Shani lord of Chandra also in 10th-from-Chandra
Shani is a hard-working graha, driven by athletic lord Kuja. The native is vigorously active and productive.
Das says "You will be able to maintain a great deal of secrecy about yourself. You prefer to be known only through your actions. You will attain fame and status unexpectedly, but will die a saddened individual."
Shani = Lord of L-4 Chandra; parents continue to be problematic in life.
L-3/L-6 Budha mahadasha
L-5/L-8 from Chandra
Much happiness from children due to putra sukha (Budha in domain-5). Nevertheless period of the maha-dushthamsha pati will be highly difficult with the illnesses and conflicts arising from the celebrity lifestyle (Budha in putative 5) and Budha is moudhya, the native does not accept advice; he is a king. Dramatic emotional and physical transformations = L-8 from Chandra.
Ketu mahadasha
9th from Chandra,
An era of fatherhood (9th from mahadasha pati) with all of Ketu's signature peculiarities
Ketu gives results of His lord the maha-maraka L-2/L-7 Shukra.

Q: Respected Madam, Namaskar. Q)Mr.Michael Jackson,death has been msyterious one.His life was full of mysteries and so were his musical albums,which were all filled with the unnatural aspects.He must have been a person who believed in spirituality and occult,which he expressed in his albums(scripts).He used cats in most of his albums.
Does the Scorpio sign in eighth house shows the unusual circumstances of his death and his body inability to get final rites. Best Regards Jai Ganesha.
A: I doubt that the mere presence of Vrischikha rashi in domain-8 indicates anything distinctive. Jyotisha requires several coordinating factors in order to make any type of prediction. Analysis would need to involve a graha, a transit, a Vimshottari period, or other distinctive feature.
Better to see the L-8 Kuja + Ketu. Ketu = an agent of dissociation and devaluation; L-8 Mangala operates the turning of the cycle of birth and death. The death would seem to be incomplete or "in suspension" (Ketu) whilst the body (Mangala = L-1) of the deceased lays in the freezer in the county morgue. In matters of incompletion or inability to obtain closure, Ketu is the "usual suspect".
Final rites (funeral) are indicated by domain-9 (religious ceremonies). L-9 Guru was in the neechcha status by gochara and transiting the native's 10th house of public recognition during the summer of suspension.
Burial = domain-4 "the ends of things", demarcated properties, and the ground/underground.
Ashlesha Shukra in domain-4 receiving drishti of the neechcha Guru could indicate the complications and surreptitious manipulations which have delayed Mr. Jackson's burial. Ashlesha Shukra is the lord of the putative domain-2 representing the family of origin.
The press reports describe a wave of manipulation and counter-manipulation, largely centered in the figure of the native's mother (4) who is attempting to influence the disposition of the native's properties (4) and other wealth accumulations (2) and also the children of the deceased being added directly to her family (2).
(note: Mr. Jackson's body was buried during an extensive funeral ceremony approximately two months after his death.)
